Rockets need shooting and Svi and Brice bring at least a little ball handling. Also Svi is super cheap for multiple seasons and if they want to retain Brice I'm guessing he can be extended at a cost that fits their cap sheet.
Jazz get the chance to evaluate Eason's fit with the team and real health situation before making the decision on an extension. Then Jazz have the inside track on keeping Eason as a RFA.
I wonder if the Rockets are desperate enough to do something like this.
